We stayed in La Serra in a rented apartment, and would take the bus to Lerici. Loved it in Lerici.

We enjoy Pistoia, a town of about 100,000 people located about 20 minutes west of Florence.

I can't recommend Viareggio - it's a beach town and you'd be there out of season. Italian resort areas are dull dull dull out of season.

My wife and I stayed in Pistoia two years ago in early May and loved it. We stayed at an agriturisimo a friend recommended and it was wonderful. If you stay there, make sure you have dinner with them one night, it was wonderful.

I agree on avoiding Viareggio outside the summer resort season. Boring. How about Siena?
